Talkboy TV is the studio of directors Jaala and Mikey Easterling. We spent a decade on real sets, from music videos to a Lionsgate feature. Now we build with AI at the center of the process, so a strong idea can reach the screen while it still matters.

Directors as credited: Michael Easterling + Jaala Ruffman
Jaala and Mikey Easterling have been making things together for more than a decade. One idea, two directors, one monitor.
They started in music videos, directing more than 50 of them for artists including MGK, Mod Sun, Shwayze, Toni Braxton, Joe, Iyaz and Olivia Newton-John, and learned to make a three-minute song feel like a whole world. Those videos have been watched over 200 million times. Their short films Grow Up and Album took that instinct to the festival circuit.
Then came Deltopia, their first feature: a raw coming-of-age story starring Luna Blaise, Madison Pettis and Charlie Gillespie, executive produced by Olivia Newton-John and released by Lionsgate. It streams today on Tubi, Apple TV and Prime Video.
Talkboy TV is what they are building now: an AI-native studio with the same character-first storytelling and far fewer limits. The AI short Sunset, produced by Michael Easterling and directed by Keith Rivers, won Outstanding AI Film at the New World AI Film Festival. Their music video for Roy Orbison Jr. & Asa Orbison's “Love Is Strange” was a Bronze Selection at the Berlin Music Video Awards 2026.
